Tumor Inhibitory Effect of Long Non-coding RNA LOC100505817 on Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the major malignancies worldwide. Emerging evidence has revealed the potential involvement of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in human genetic disorders and cancer, but the role of LOC100505817 remains unknown. Thus, in this study, we isolated tissues from GC patients to characterize the functional importance of LOC100505817 in GC tumorigenesis. We also proposed a hypothesis that the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway by LOC100505817 was regulated by miR-20a-mediated WT1. After the collection of cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were obtained from GC patients, expression of LOC100505817, Wnt/β-catenin pathway- and EMT-related genes was quantified. Ectopic expression and knockdown experiments were applied in order to investigate the protective role of LOC1005058
